Trip Information

Servant Life partners with a local ministry in South Africa serving in the Cape Town and Eastern Cape regions. You will serve alongside our partners, local staff, and volunteers, helping support the ministries’ daily goals:
 

• To spread the good news of Jesus Christ in a life-changing way and to encourage people to follow Him.

• To play a vital role in the prevention, care, treatment, and support of people infected and affected by HIV and AIDS and other chronic illnesses.

• To undertake community development through education, social, and health-related programs.

​

What will my team be doing? 

Teams join alongside our partners, serving in the following ways:

• Holiday & Children’s Clubs: Building into the children living in impoverished communities

• Economic Empowerment: Empowering future entrepreneurs

• Construction and maintenance projects for Living Hope or in the local communities

• Health Outreach: Assisting the Living Hope staff with health education and testing.

 

We work with our missionary partners to use your team in the most effective and meaningful way possible within the community and ministry. Serving alongside our partners, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with local people and see first-hand the challenges many people face daily. Through those relationships, you’ll have the unique opportunity to practically demonstrate the love of Christ to people in our communities.

For those groups interested in serving on the Eastern Cape, an inter-country flight to East London is optional for around $170.
